SET CONFIGMANAGER (Specify a configuration manager)

Use this command to specify whether a server is a configuration manager. On a configuration manager, you can define configuration profiles to which other servers can subscribe.

You cannot designate a server as a configuration manager if the server subscribes to one or more profiles on another configuration manager.

If a server is a configuration manager, you cannot change this designation until you delete all profiles, including the default profile.

Issue the QUERY STATUS command to determine if a server is a configuration manager. When a server is installed, it is not designated as a configuration manager.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.
